BRISTOL ANTI-FASCISTS SAY: STOP THE EDL…. Let’s defend ourselves against the English Defence League! The EDL are marching in Bristol on the 14th of July. The counter- mobilisation is in full swing, so get involved. There have been alot of posts on Bristol Indymedia about the EDL demo. Now is the time for our call to action.

Come to Templemeads area and line the route at 11am on the 14th to give them the welcome they deserve. Stay alert. Stay mobile. Bring your mates.

There are many many ways to show your opposition to the EDL: don’t let them march, don’t give ’em a lift in your taxi, put posters up in shops, don’t serve them drinks, raise awareness about their farcical attempts to  disguise their homophobia, chat to work colleagues,  decorate the city…. do whatever you feel comfortable with but now is the time to get a crew together and take action against racism in our city. We want to meet them at the station to stop them marching for any distance. We will resist them wherever they turn and we will be watching them.

Let’s defend ourselves against the EDL! Zero tolerance of fascism on our streets. Bristol Anti-fascists is non-hierarchical and is not affiliated to any political party.

Zatrzymać demonstrację English Defence League w Bristolu   14 lipca English Defence League (EDL) jest antyislamską organizacją,  której celem jest szerzenie nienawiści i dzielenie społeczności. Tylko w ostatnim roku EDL odbyło około   20 marszy lub pikiet i próbowało zakłocać antyrasistowskie  spotkania i koncerty benefitowe. Antyfaszyści stawiali opór   EDL wszędzie, gdzie tylko się ta organizacja pojawiała. EDL twierdzi, że są przeiciwko prawie Szariatu i używaja tego „zagrożenia” do promowania swoich faszystowskich poglądów. Twierdza , że nie są rasistami. Ich kłamstwa odciągaja ludzi od prawdziwych  problemów: polityków i korporacji. Bristol Antifascists mobilizują się, aby zatrzymać EDL,   dzielić się zasobami i zapewniac pomoc prawną. Chcemy, aby wszyscy pracowali razem w celu pokonania   faszyzmu i zorganizowanego rasizmu. Zatrzymaj marsz EDL w Bristolu 14 lipca. Broń swojego lokalnego rejonu I nie pozwól głosicielom  nienawiści na osiągnięcie sukcesu. W przeszlości EDL póbowało atakować meczety i sklepy.  Działajmy razem, aby rzucić EDL I wszytkiemu, co oni  reprezentują wyzwanie. Pokażmy im, że nie są mile widziani w Bristolu. Anti-Fascist Network (Siec antyfaszystowska)  jest niehierarchiczną grupą, nigdy nie współpracujemy z policja i nie jesteśmy związani z żadna partia polityczną. bristolantifascists@riseup.net antifascistnetwork.wordpress.com

11 arrests in Rochdale

10 06 2012

ImageAccording to the mainstream press (specifically the BBC) there were 11 arrests yesterday in Rochdale.

About 400 EDL supporters were at the demo, which followed the conviction of a group of men of Pakistani and Afghan origin for child-grooming offences.  The EDL have been doing all that they can to capitalize on this.

There was a heavy police presence with some 500 officers on duty.

EDL-Casuals clashing over Brighton and general fail

10 06 2012

EDL-Casuals clashing over Brighton and general fail

The deepening rift between the arseholes of the EDL and the cunts of the Casuals looks set to widen after key figures on both sides line up to dish the dirt on each other as Yaxley gets billed for Marsh gas’ second fuck up in Brighton

After the Casuals had their arses handed to them for a second time in Brighton it would appear that the EDL are less than happy with Joe “The Mouth” Marsh especially as the diminutive dickhead from Luton has been handed a bill by the police for the operation to save Marshy’s worthless arse from anti-fascists and the ordinary people of Brighton who quite rightly objected to a load of lager swilling idiots befouling their town
The unexpected bill has led to condemnation from official EDL sources of Marshy as a coward who leaves demo’s he has organised as early as 2pm via the safest backdoor of a pub that he can find leaving the rest of his lads to cover for him in the face of a large group of hostile anarchists intent on christening the dodgy div’s trainers.
It would appear that the bollock-brain from Barry is out of favour with the rest of the EDL after running from his own demo, leaving other fascists to face the music and now expecting Uncle Tommy to pay for his mistakes from his coke fund.
Accusations and counter accusations abound from all sides heated all the more after a disastrous day for the far right as both the BNP demo and the EDL in Rochdale fail to make a dent in the nation’s conscience with only approx 35 turning up to the BNP do and less than 500 at the EDL’s equally damp squib

EDL in Hebden Bridge

10 06 2012

EDL in Hebden Bridge

from IMC UK, see http://indymedia.org.uk/en/2012/06/496927.html?c=on#comments

Yesterday around 30 EDL descended on Hebden Bridge after the Rochdale demo. They

draped their banners outside the shoulder of mutton pub and began to chant anti Islamic abuse.

Some local anti fascists attempted to confront the group but they were threatened by EDL supporters. The police had no control over the situation and were simply a laughing stock. One of the EDL began arguing with a local anti fascist when the EDL supporter punched the anti fascist in the face. The fascist friendly police put the thug in the back of the van and gave him a caution and then allowed him to walk off.

The EDL displayed placards against Islam, even though there are no muslims in Hebden Bridge, this entire depressing fiasco was clearly an attack on anti fascists and nothing to do with radical islam. As we walked past the EDL we were verbally abused and called “traitors” eventually the group left and went back to the station, the thugs that carried out the attack were from Halifax and leeds.

Fascists Get Fucked in Brighton….Again

4 06 2012

Here’s a couple of links & reposts from the action in Brighton this weekend. Another good day for the Brighton Aniti-Fascists, but in all honesty the biggest mob in town on the day was the police, thousands of them!! – It’s worth noting that a couple of Casuals were arrested for drugs almost as soon as they got off the trains – Maybe they were so pathetic today as they didn’t have the chemical confidence they usually seem to rely upon.

count the baldies – about 30 scumbags are taken to the train station by police.

Couple of quality quotes from the day:

‘If there were no police, there would be no fascists, fact!’  – a member of the public who was asking the police to kindly ‘Piss off so we can get rid of the bastards.’

‘I don’t know why the police don’t just let us sort it out, they (the fascists) would never dare show their faces in Brighton again,’ – Anti-Fascist campaigner.

‘Go on kids, See em off!’ – an elderly lady watching from the railings outside Brighton train station as around a gang of 100 had just legged it down the road in hot pursuit of the 30 fascists being taken to the train station by police.

Fash & Chips

(repost from Schnews)

Casuals United, the football hooligan wing of the EDL, made complete tits of themselves in Brighton today (2nd). In response to their humiliation at March for England the fash thought it would be a good idea to come back in even smaller numbers to have a go at the “rabid hordes of commie UAF gays” that passes for the population of Brighton.

Far right websites, blogs and Facebook pages are already attempting to claim that antifa either a) didn’t turn up, b) ran away, and/or c) attacked patriots unprovoked. In reality the knuckle draggers managed to skulk about in a few pubs (including Belushis, The Saint James & The Amsterdam) while around 100 antifascists stewarded the UK Uncut demo and Palestine Solidarity stall near Churchill Sq. Once the stall had packed up around 3pm the antifascists mobbed up and headed towards Old Steine to confront the racists.

Police halted the majority of the march halfway down North St, meaning only around 30 made it to the bottom of St James Street, where small groups of fash were skulking around making homophobic remarks. A spirited fistfight broke out, though the police waded in before a decisive outcome was reached.

The cops then rounded up most of the EDL and marched them to the train station, with antifascists haranguing them all the way. Many of them then left town with a few others heading back into town to find a pub to defend from Sharia Law.

Antifascists then regrouped for a well earned pint, while others headed to Hollingbury police station to pick up arrested comrades. So far at least 5 antifascists and 5 fascists have been nicked today.

A more complete & concise roundup of the day’s events will be posted in the near future.

Up the punks!!

Another report on Indymedia here: http://www.indymedia.co.uk/en/2012/06/496672.html?c=on

Also less amusing report at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-18308450

And a fairly inaccurate one from the local rag: http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/9742009.18_arrested_during_protests_in_Brighton/

As reported in an earlier post, anyone who wants a laugh (or a cry) should look at the casuals united blog. The blatant bullshit they come out with shows their weakness – The Anti Fascist Network has a policy of not exaggerating, and only reporting the truth, so that we may learn from our mistakes. Here’s a quote from an e-mail from an antifascist doing prisoner support:

Just thought i’d share a little story from yesterday,
After 5 fash & 5 anti fash were arrested a group from Brighton Anti Fascists went up to
the holding cells in a mini bus and 2 cars, i think the uaf had a car there
too.

To pass the time in the van we were talking about the day and for a laugh
thought we’d have a look at how the casuals united blog was spinning the day,
and how they would again try to claim victory when there was none

Amazingly their blog stated that they had 30 people outside the cells for
prisoner support!?!?!  One of the funniest things to read when you are actually there with
absolutley no one one else around (its in the middle of no where).

Every one pissed themselves & Jokes were made that we were surrounded on all sides by invisible fascists!

The first fascist to get released new the score and came out & quickly paced off the
other way, maybe the second one had been expecting his mates to care about him,
he headed straight for the van, and as we piled out he shat himself and bolted to
an awaiting taxi.

So either:

A) the fascists did thier prisoner support at the wrong station,
B) they didnt give a fuck about thier mates and went to the pub or,
C) they went home to dream up stories to post on the blog.

Even if they were at the wrong station, i doubt they had 30 as the maximum
number we counted at the hight of thier numbers was 40.

Its good to see them having to resort to such bollox!

Well done all those who went!!

So in summary of the situation in Brighton. The MFE went tits up for the ‘patriots’ on St Georges Day and The hardcore fascists of Casuals United and EDL couldn’t carry out their threats of revenge, and were made to look like the weak extremist group they are. If the Fascists are stubborn enough to want a third crack at the town I guess all they have left to do is a National EDL Demo….are they really that stupid??

****PLEASE NOTE THE RUNNING OF THIS BLOG IS TO BE PASSED TO ANOTHER GROUP SOMETIME NEXT WEEK!!****
